I suggest adding one application of a colour that will even it out. Perhaps a darker colour than what your darkest parts are. And make use of deep conditioning treatments to repair your hair. It will be get tricky colouring the rest of your hair a light colour. Matching could be difficult.

I have had this experience too! I have white blonde hair and one time i dyed iit brown then decided 2 go bk to blonde a few months later and it was fine. But i then wen t back to brown about 6 months later and knowing me decided after a month that i wanted my blonde back so dyed at home myself with 2 nice n easy dyes and my roots went ginger lol! I then thought if i just put 2 more blonde dyes in it tht would sort it but it wasnt the case,my roots would not change the slightest bit! I went to the hairdressers and highlights sorted it! so i think a home highlighting kit would deffo work! hope tht helps .

It all depends on your wish that which type of color you want to dye your hair and roots with. In fact this all happens due to improper exposure of hair dye to the whole head. Any dye expert and hair expert can help you more in this matter. Combination of dye you are using for your hair has much importance. So consult to any expert for it if you doing it for first time. Once when you will learn how to apply dye properly then you can easily mange from next time and you will not face this problem of light roots.

When your roots are turning orange and it`s a different color than the rest of your hair, then you should seek the help of a colorist.

intrigued said: I have specialized in color correction for 10 yrs. I would like to know what color your hair was prior to coloring it ash blonde? Also, what line of color did you use? Did the rest of your hair reach the target color of Ash Blonde?

Someone said: I am a hairstylist and really good at color... I do this client with a level 3 57D AA on roots that are almost white twice for some reason the color in the bowl is perfect ash but as soon as I apply the color to roots it turns a red cast do I need to add a blue additive?

All hair has to go through the different stages of bleaching, which starts at orange and work through red and yellow, finally to white. If you are buying bleach and developer. The reason your highlights came out orange before is because your stylist did not leave the bleach on long enough. Its hard to answer your question without knowing how you`re going about this though.

user55606 said: i`m sorry but nowhere did I write that my highlights turned orange. They turned out beautiful. I did my own mistake by dying my hair darker and the stylist fixed it. I`m just trying to dye my roots to help match what the stylist did. If I could upload pictures, one could see that. Thank you.

Some died hair may be dark brown due to it being virgin or untouched by other dye. If a dye turned your roots lighter but kept the rest of the hair dark, this could be because of something called hot roots. The scalp is hotter than the rest of the hair so reacts with the developer to make more of the dye work with your hair at the roots. What you can now is to foil your roots and dye the rest of the hair for longer.

Yes usually you have to color 1 inch from the roots first with 30 or 40 volume depending on how dark your hair is and how light you wanna go and wait twenty minutes and than color the roots with a 20Volume leave in for 10 minutes or until you see the color on the roots even with the rest!

I did the same thing and short of bleaching the rest of your hair and that may not work either. I covered mine with a darker color to get the roots to blend in. The roots went white as that is the hottest area on your head. Roots should be done when going blond only the last few minutes - most of the time.

If you have bleached your hair also while dyeing the hair blonde, do not bleach them again in order to lighten your brighter hair . Instead , you can use a toner to lighten your roots which have turned brighter than the rest of your hair .
